Raspberry #B00149

Raspberry (#B00149) is a dark, saturated pink with an OKLCH hue of 8°, lightness 0.49 and chroma 0.194. It sits on the warm side of the color wheel. In practice it behaves as an accent color: strong in focal moments, dominant over large fields.

How Raspberry behaves under real light

Under warm 2700K interior light Raspberry shifts subtly: leans toward orange; in north-facing or shaded light it is virtually unchanged. Overall drift across common illuminants is small (max ΔE ≈ 0.7), so it is a lighting-stable choice.

Contrast & accessibility

Against white it measures 7.13:1 and against black 2.95:1, so white text is the stronger pairing. That pairing passes WCAG AA for body text. Avoid black text on this color entirely.

Palettes built from Raspberry

Tonal

One color explored: close hues with real lightness and chroma structure, so the palette is the anchor through value rather than a set of colors.

#ff89a0 · #dd5978 · #b00149 · #850035 · #4e001b · #1e0005

Analogous

The anchor's neighbours on the wheel — everything shares an undertone, so the chord carries color without anything having to be muted to get along.

#ca5c32 · #c0393a · #b00149 · #8f0058 · #6d005d · #4d005b

Shifted

The mid-gap pairing — sage and mustard, terracotta and olive. A foil rotated 40–65° toward warm or cool: too far to be kin, too near to argue, carried by temperature and a deliberate value offset.

#eba971 · #df7e00 · #a66d3c · #b00149 · #810033 · #55001f

Contrast

One deliberately opposed voice — a single restrained counterpoint across the wheel, or temperature against temperature where the anchor is too muted to carry a loud opposite.

#00e1d6 · #d48694 · #9e7178 · #b00149 · #6d2336 · #40141f

Quiet Support

The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.

#def8f5 · #cbaaae · #6b7d7b · #b00149 · #5c3c41 · #000202

Bright Accent

This color as a ground rather than a subject — its own restraint held across a narrow value band, carrying one saturated voice from the opposite temperature.

#e7f5f4 · #bccdcb · #8ea19f · #0e2927 · #000706 · #b00149

Complementary

The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.

#c6fff9 · #00cec4 · #008b84 · #b00149 · #00524e · #160003

Split-complementary

The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.

#d2d3f7 · #76c1a7 · #5d97a8 · #b00149 · #3a4b71 · #20061b

Triadic

Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.

#e6fad1 · #96c651 · #007dd0 · #b00149 · #00497d · #010500

Tetradic

Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

Using Raspberry

Its chroma is high enough to carry accents, calls to action, and focal moments; large fields of it will dominate a composition. In palettes it pairs most predictably with its tonal ramp and analogous neighbors; reserve the complementary hue for small, deliberate contrast.
